Bradenton, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - Steve Ewing, a 35-year-old Florida man was jailed Thursday after he reportedly used a squirt gun to kill his neighbor's plants in an alleged dispute over drug money.

According to Bradenton Police, officers had pulled Ewing's vehicle over for driving on a suspended driver's license when he reportedly admitted to using a squirt gun and water balloons to poison his neighbor's plants.
